“I f***ed up quite a lot”: How Yuki Tsunoda discovered the complexity of F1 2026 at Monza

Yuki Tsunoda has another roll of the Formula 1 dice this weekend in Madrid, standing in at Racing Bulls for Liam Lawson, who is getting another outing at Red Bull racing in place of the injured Isack Hadjar.

The new track will be another stern challenge for Tsuonda, who hadn’t experienced the latest-generation cars outside of the simulator before he stepped in at the Dutch Grand Prix. That weekend appeared to go relatively smoothly – in Sunday’s race he finished just outside the points, but ahead of team-mate Arvid Lindblad – but made much heavier weather of the Italian GP last weekend.
